The Official 2nd Amendment Appreciation Thread

I mean it’s def special to me I just know it’s not for everyone. Shoots like a dream, and easy to clean. I did forget I just bought a Chip McCormick 10 rd mag too. Thinking of getting a compensator but I’m not sure

I've not had good luck with the CMC 10 rounders. Had three, one was crap, one was good and the other was middle of the road.

I honestly find the 8 round variety to be ultra reliable and price being the deciding factor, the Mec-Gar to be best value for quality.

I'm pretty sure there is a handgun in there somewhere among those accessories.

There’s only 2 “accessories” on it.

An optic and a light. In one picture there is no light…….light for night home defense anyway…..it’s a slip on slip off light.

It’s “different” I know…..but I wanted it that way.

I get it, but it definitely ain’t everyone’s cup of tea.

But it does stick to your hand like nice pair of Isotoners.

I like it on my 1911, but I’m having some feeding issues pulling the slide back. I’m not sure if there’s a rough spot somewhere or it’s something else. If it doesent get better I’ll probably just put it up and get a few standard mags. Never had any issues from those.

The CMC 8 round mags I've got have been flawless. I don't have a lot of them (went with Mec-Gar as stated) but I had a couple I picked up here and there and they run like a champ.

Wilson picking up the Chip McCormick brand when he retired and keeping the brand name was a classy move.

You need red necks to fight off the maga cults.

Impulse buy to work on this winter. Any suggestions on the cosmoline removal? I was hoping for trench art, but I'll probably sand and refinish the furniture since the only markings are the numbers on the stock (which do match!).

I've found that urine is a great cosmoline solvent.

hair dryer on hot then dawn and warm water and an old toothbrush

The hair dryer was amazing. Finished with mineral spirits, brush, pick, and of course rods and pads.

There are some rust spots I'd like to work on. Also some yellow/brown discoloration on the pig-sticker. Are these improvable?

I'll sand and stain the wood next week.

That’s looking good ?
It’s going to be an amazing transformation.
If you don’t mind me asking, what did you give for it?

Yup.
I bought a similar one and it doesn’t look anywhere near as good. I may have to take another run at it now.

Honestly, I thought about staining with ebony. It's not really worth much, more of a fun relic to have. I don't think there's any reason not to jazz it up

That’s what I paid at Sportsmans Wearhouse a year or so back.
Are you going to modify the bolt so you can switch to a detachable magazine that can be removed with the bolt closed?

I got a folding stock off armslist for 20 bucks for mine. It looks cool but not really worth a whole lot. Fun to shoot though
I’ll post later.

My outlook has always been do it how you like it. Your happiness on one is all that matters.

[kiddiedoc]

Not right now. I got some stripper clips so I'll see how those work.
